A little more but twice the MTBF + faster speeds and its from a quality brand. A-Data I don't trust with SSDs.
Another option is this.

Only difference between Agility 2 and Vertex 2 is 10,000 IOPS vs 50,000 IOPS and I was told that is more important for servers not for normal users.

It means Mean Time Between Failures
The lower, the better

Actually, the higher the better. You want a longer time between failures.
